Thanks and Your Welcome kacrut.

I was able to get parts #3 & #4 attached to the heads and got it all painted.

Whops! I just realized that I forgot to take pictures of underneath the heads. I'll put some on latter.

Well the crankcase is finished and painted and glued the heads to the crankcase. Also I was able to get pictures of under the heads. What I used the to help form the nose of the crankcase is shown on the last two pictures.

Next is the pipes under the heads and valve springs.

Well I got quite a bit done. The springs are finished, the pipes glued to the engine, and spark plug wires made and glued to the engine.
What I did this time to feed the thread through the paper clip insulator was by whetting four strands together with some saliva, (it's to keep the strands together when pulling them though the insulation.)
To build the valve springs I used the paper clip wire and wrapped thread around that.
I figured out something better to rotate the thread around the wire. I used some needle nose pliers and took the ink thing form a pen. Cutting the end off of it I used a rubber band to hold the end of ink thing in place. After that I fed the wire through and made a handle to rotate the wire. Then glued the tread to the wire and waited till it dried. Lastly added a weight to the thread to give me a free hand and tilted the wire and rapped the thread around the wire.

That is a very clever technique to have used.
Your model is showing every sign of being beyond superb, and well-into excellent.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Thanks Uyraell, but the credit goes to those who gave me the ideas.

Well I tried putting the engine in the nose and I could see behind the engine block so I decided to design and build the magnetos.

Got the engine finished, magnetos attached and glued the nose on the plane.
I was wondering if the prop looks too big. What do you all think.

That looks much better and will really look even better when you mount the prop. Nice job!

Your question about the prop prompted me to go look.

I see differences in blade profile, and blade shape, and blade chord between the attached images and the propeller you show in front of your Cub.
The hub appears to be slightly overscale to those seen below, but I don't see that as an issue: slightly overscale is perfectly reasonable in such a fine model as your is.

I hope the images assist you to asses the prop you have currently.
I went and looked for the images not as a nit-pick, but solely as an attempt to assist your deliberations about your current prop.

Kind and Respectful Regards my friend, Uyraell.
